Excellent Christian Literature...
Which changed your life?
The following are Christian books I have enjoyed (or others highly recommended) and would like to share with you.
If I had to rate them on a scale of 1 to 10 for profitability and excellence they would be 8-10.
Of course these books are only secondary to the greatest Book of all time: God's word, the Bible.

. | 20 | The Big Picture Story Bible | David Helm | Children | Amazon.com | This Bible's focus is on the big picture, an emphasis that is just as helpful for parents as it is for kids (I have learned a lot from this children's Bible!). The illustrations (by Gail Schoonmaker) are simple but highly imaginative. | |||||||||||||||
. | 21 | The Jesus Story Book Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name | Sally-Lloyd Jones | Children | Amazon.com | This Bible's focus is on Jesus. While I am occasionally uncomfortable with a point or two, most of the stories are done very well. Often I am moved as I read it to my daughter by the way the grace of God and the presence of the Lord Jesus is brought out, even (especially!) in the OT stories. This should not surprise me as the author confesses the pervasive influence Tim Keller's preaching has had on her and on this book. | |||||||||||||||
